Meth burn by FBI smokes out Montana animal shelter
Fourteen employees were hospitalized with symptoms like headaches and dizziness after methamphetamine smoke from a routine FBI incineration infiltrated the shelter due to a negative air pressure issue.
- A cloud of smoke from two pounds of methamphetamine incinerated by the FBI led to the evacuation of a Montana animal shelter and sent workers to the hospital, according to city officials in Billings.
- Smoke filled the building during the drug burn due to negative pressure, as explained by Billings Assistant City Administrator Kevin Iffland.
- Fourteen workers at the Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter were hospitalized as a precaution, and the shelter will remain closed until testing for contamination is completed.
- A fan, intended to reverse pressure and allow smoke to exit, was not readily available, according to Iffland.
